5.5 · MEDIUM
Published May 3, 2024 linux EPSS 0.19% (9th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2022-48705 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on May 3, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mt76: mt7921e: fix crash in chip reset fail

In case of drv own fail in reset, we may need to run mac_reset several

times. The sequence would trigger system crash as the log below.

Because we do not re-enable/schedule "tx_napi" before disable it again,

the process would keep waiting for state change in napi_diable(). To

avoid the problem and keep status synchronize for each run, goto final

resource handling if drv own failed.
